Anyone Else A Flight Simmer?

Same here.... the only thing I can land is a Cessna 172 and lower. Have never once
landed a jet of any kind without 100% loss of life Can take off in them and fly
just fine - but I guess that part doesn't really matter if you can't land!

But yeah - I've been at it since the mid 90s myself.

Only sim I've ever used is the free one with Google Earth. Either a 172 or an F16...I can't control the F16 that well on my laptop controls, lol.

I've seen some homemade cockpits running Flight Sim X and huge projectors in front of the windscreen.

Ever try x-plane? Austin is on here once in a blue moon.

 

I fly in the sim exactly once a year because that is what is required. It just seems like a switch flipping exercise, the only real value is the ability to practice emergency procedures that they won't let us do in real life.
